Meta Pool - a closed source ICP liquid staking protocol, making APY promises it doesn't keep... 🤔

Hi @Pablo, thanks for getting in touch.

Is this the entirety of Meta Pool’s ICP liquid staking solution (the old StakedICP that’s been acquired)? If I were to build the solution here should I expected the WASM hash to match that currently running by canister qfr6e? (running here)

The canister seems to be out of sync with what Meta Pool is providing. it’s currently displaying 12.15%.

Meta Pool’s main page says differently:


Which one are users supposed to trust? I keep seeing these numbers jump around significantly without any significant change in TVL.

UPDATE: This morning both the StackedICP canister and the Meta Pool front-end are displaying 9.25%!...

Both in sync now, but a wild departure from the previous figure, and TVL literally has remained static - what’s going on behind the scenes?! If I staked yesterday with the promise of a 14% APY (all other things being equal) how can a drop to 9.25% be justified. What happened?

Does the Meta Pool dev team reserve the right to change the APY up and down as they see fit?


Thanks @Pablo. I think the IC community should benefit from answers to these questions as they’re made available. I believe this forum is the best place for these questions (I have plenty more, but I’ll pace them out to avoid overloading you) :slight_smile: I appreciate you making yourself available to provide some clarity.
